Hip-hop megastar, Big Sean, makes his first South African
stage appearance on 1 February next year, brought to you by Axe, and in
association with Channel O. This
exclusive and once-off event will take place at Gallagher Estate in
Johannesburg on Saturday 1 February 2014. A tremendous feat for Axe, it is
guaranteed to be a phenomenal gathering of hip-hop fans from across South
Africa to witness the spectacle that is Big Sean. AXE is exceptionally proud to be bringing in
Big Sean as part of their debut foray into the music and lifestyle scene.
“Music is an integral
part of an AXE Man’s life, and through bringing out international artists,
starting with Big Sean, we have the opportunity to create some
once-in-a-lifetime experiences for our users” said AXE Brand Manager Vincent
Viviers. Big Sean’s first visit to SA and Africa follows hot on the heels of
the star’s second studio album, Hall of Fame, selling an impressive 72 000
copies in its first week of release in August.
The artist’s career has exploded in the two years since his debut album,
Finally Famous: The Mixtape, in 2011.
After record first-week sales and raving reviews in Rolling
Stone and just about everywhere else, it also spun off crossover hits with,
among others, West and Roscoe Dash, Chris Brown and Nicki Minaj. GQ Mag’s
‘Hottest Rookie’ of 2012 now has a Facebook following pushing 3 million, close
to 4 million twitter followers and no less than 46 million YouTube views
worldwide. The MC from Detroit,
Michigan, has come a long way since free styling for Kanye West in 2005.
Rapping since his pre-teens, Sean Anderson won an MC contest at a local hip-hop
radio station, earning a spot to rap live on-air every Friday night for nearly
a year.
It was here that he made a lifetime contact in West who
agreed to hear his freestyle. Following a mentorship from West, Sean signed
with G.O.O.D. Music in 2007, and Def Jam in 2008. Most recent accolades are
double Grammy nominations for Mercy, his collaboration with West, his mentor,
and which also featured label mate Pusha T and 2 Chainz. Big Sean is currently
touring the USA and Canada, with concerts and appearances scheduled in Miami,
Atlanta, Toronto, Montreal and elsewhere during October. G&G Productions,
the company behind the successful Sensation ‘Innerspace’, NYE Live City Link Up
and Space Ibiza South Africa, will be the team behind the production of Big
Sean’s performance in South Africa. About the tour venues and dates: Big Sean
